period. and once again kicking put VVaco in a deep hole. Finally, in the waning moments of the last quarter, Lubbock got the ball on the VVaco 38. From there Al- ford, the Westerner fullback, started a run that was the sensation of the game. He hit the center of the line, and twice he seemed stopped but he finally broke into the clear to give the West Texas team its margin of victory. Waco made one last, desperate, drive. Starting from mid- field, the Tigers fought to the 27, but an-s other heart-breaking fumble ended the drive and Waco's chance for victory. i a Yes, the Tigers lost the state champ- ionship to Lubbock, They were fairly beaten. But in defeat they were as great as ever they had been in victory. '1 hey went into the game riddled with injuries and hampered by fatigue. They had fumbles and penalties to contend with at the most inopportune times. They had every kind of break to go against them. 'Yet they would not be discouraged. They struggled against the inevitable and near- ly won. They fought with a savage fury that has seldom been equaled. And, even though much bereaved by their defeat, when the game was over, with the hearts of true sportsmen they were the first to congratulate the great new football State Champions. Post did a fine job at quarterback, but McCollum, who had to leave the game early on account of a shoulder injury, was sorely missed not only for his own magni- fiee-nt -ability, but also because had he been able to play, l'ost would have been a-ble to fill his regular end position and Qve the Tiger line some much needed help. Pulattie- played a brilliant game both offensively and defensively, and Bowen and Blanton made many beautiful runs. Myers and Sprowl rose to titanic heights in the middle of the line. But once more there was no one who could be called VVaco's star , For the team of IQQQ was no conglomeration of individ- uals. lt was a team in the truest sense of the word, with every cog performing its function in perfect coordination with every other cog, and every man accom- plishing his own task well. Therein lies the secret of the Tigers' success. Tigers mziwrgf nn Corjmx ball rnrrirr.
